> I say you're trolling because even if it were entirely a corporate Red Hat project, Red Hat still wouldn't owe anyone any features. They would still be the "volunteers" in that case. Insisting anyone meet some threshold of features for a random free product they give away is leaning heavily into toxic entitlement.

Negative feedback when removing existing features is not "trolling", nor "toxic entitlement".

In fact, it's expected, when you remove a much used, much loved feature, that you're going to get criticism for doing so, even more so when there is strong indication that there will be no replacement for that feature now or in the future.

Gnome has been steadily dropping features and then attacking anyone who complains (much like you are doing so).

Mostly the gnome supporters imply that the complainers are just plain stupid (don't know any better, are ignorant, have poor habits, etc): from https://www.osnews.com/story/7344/opinion-why-users-blame-th...

TBH, if I had time, I could compile a substantial list of similar insults from the Gnome devs themselves, when closing issues as "wontfix".
